Chevalier College

Chevalier is a Catholic secondary college conducted by the priests and brothers of the international religious order, the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (M.S.C.). The M.S.C. were founded in France in 1854 by Father Jules Chevalier, and were first established in Australia in 1885.

Chevalier began in 1946 with an enrolment of 46 boys. Co-education came about in 1978 through amalgamation with Elm Court, Moss Vale, a girls school conducted by the Dominican Order since 1891. It is now a fully co-educational high school, with a total enrolment of approximately 1,100.

The College is ideally situated on a beautiful 100 acres property in Bowral in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales.

The College's motto is "Fortes in Fide" - "Strong in Faith", and its symbol - the knight - comes from the translation from the French of the school's name.

Ex Student

Posted by Crystal Walters at Tuesday 24 July 2007

Id like to say as an ex student that i learnt far more from the two years at chev than any time i had spent at any other school. I found myself after leaving chev being taught things i had already learnt and the substantial all round in general knowledge was much lower at the new school.If my family circumstances were different i could have gone far at your school. My brother was not as easy with school work but at chev he finished year 10 and with the help of a teacher(Mrs Santos) got a butchers apprenticship and has agreat career from it.

so thankyou

Hello all current and past Chevalier students (and staff!).

I run a webpage for past and present students and staff here at http://chev.tk. We keep photos and posts all about events and reunions and much much more.

Chevalier was an awesome experience for me and I boarded there for 6 years from 1998 to 2003. I'll never forget that school, my friends or the awesome staff there (especially at the music department). Chev gave me such an experience that I continue to explore the music that I was taught there. These days I even run my own stage band at uni in Sydney called "Knot on Right" which you can visit here: http://musocunsw.org/StageBand.php

Endless fun, great people. I wouldn't have bothered making a page for it otherwise,

Tom Hilliar,

A treasured experience. Focused my moral future. Exposed my weaknesses. Found my strengths. Opportunities that others were not able to subscribe. Snow, flies and rock solid friendships.

Chevalier College is a wonderful school full of love and kindness. I have been at the school for a while now and am absolutely loving it. Chevalier College is like a big family, where everyone is welcome. It offers an excellent amount of subjects for the student to engage in from agriculture studies to french and food technology.

It also offers excellent academic oppurtunities, allowing the student to achieve amazing results! I could never imagine going to another school as I love Chevalier College with all my heart!

I would strongly recommend this school to any parents who are sending their children to highschool next year, you definately wont be dissapointed!!!

I am a memeber of the Chev family and so proud to be

So WorthWhile!

Literacy skills

I was amazed when reading the above comments from past and present students, but maybe grammar, pronunciation and spelling may not have been high on the teaching priority list.

I know it is in the Public School system.

So long ago

I'm a past student. '72-'75. I've been browsing and surfing and see a couple of familiar names, Denis Strangman (FR?) and Fr Terry Herbert. Other names I remember are Mr Shergold (Math), MR Chambers(English) and Mr Doyle (Woodwork). I have no doubt that the college and the fine teachers (although I didn't think so at the time) gave me the life skills to get me where I am today. After 24 years in the RAAF I look back fondly on those years at Chev with thanks.
